McCain takes lead on Intrade.

It is very easy to offer an opinion to a pollster, but it is something else entirely to be willing to put money on it.

OBAMA ONLY AHEAD 5 POINTS IN NEW YORK STATE -- AMAZING AND UNPRECENDENTED. MCCAIN HAS A CHANCE HERE!

New York State is officially a swing state!

re: #8 experiencedtraveller

The Referrer Page was dark, and void. And lo, the spirit moved across the surface of the page, and breathed life into the new account.

And a voice spake: "Hey. This is pretty cool."

The RCP Toss Up Map looks better all the time.
McCain 227, 172 solid.
Obama 207, 157 solid.
104 toss up.

According to Hitchens, Obama may be right about something:

Recent accounts of murderous violence in the capital cities of two of our allies, India and Afghanistan, make it appear overwhelmingly probable that the bombs were not the work of local or homegrown "insurgents" but were orchestrated by agents of the Pakistani ISI. This is a fantastically unacceptable state of affairs, which needs to be given its right name of state-sponsored terrorism. Meanwhile, and on Pakistani soil and under the very noses of its army and the ISI, the city of Quetta and the so-called Federally Administered Tribal Areas are becoming the incubating ground of a reorganized and protected al-Qaida. Sen. Barack Obama has, if anything, been the more militant of the two presidential candidates in stressing the danger here and the need to act without too much sentiment about our so-called Islamabad ally. He began using this rhetoric when it was much simpler to counterpose the "good" war in Afghanistan with the "bad" one in Iraq. Never mind that now; he is committed in advance to a serious projection of American power into the heartland of our deadliest enemy. And that, I think, is another reason why so many people are reluctant to employ truthful descriptions for the emerging Afghan-Pakistan confrontation: American liberals can't quite face the fact that if their man does win in November, and if he has meant a single serious word he's ever said, it means more war, and more bitter and protracted war at that—not less.

I was saying earlier in the day that I think four years ago that I thought Bush had pulled within single digits of Kerry but ultimately ended up getting blown out by 18 19 points in NY. I think that is kinda accurate. Do you remember? Of course this time we do have the Ton Bradley Factor to consider. We shall see?

One thing about that RCP map JCM put up: You can click on each state and change it to whatever you want. I have McCain now with 538 electoral votes.

re: #30 Occasional Reader

McCain's people. There was an item in the Post today.

McCain's surge in New York polling comes at a time when his national operatives have rebuffed requests from New York campaign chairman Ed Cox, a Manhattan lawyer and son-in-law to former President Richard Nixon, to spend some serious campaign money in the state.

"Ed was told, 'You have no money for a campaign here, so why should we spend any?' " a nationally known Republican operative told The Post.

"The McCain people think of Ed as a nice guy, but there's no money for an organization in New York, so they ask, 'Why go in?' " the GOP operative continued.

The Republican operative, meanwhile, sounded downright gleeful about the political fallout from US Rep. Charles Rangel's failure to pay income taxes from the rental of his luxurious villa in the Dominican Republic.

"Rangel has turned into a big liability for the Democrats, and his troubles are playing into the 'anti- politician' mood around the country," he said.

I guess I should reiterate they're talking serious money, so I'll assume they're spending some cash, but likely not much.

MCCAIN'S CAMPAIGN IS STAFFED WITH GIANT IRRADIATED ANTS?!

CALL THE HUFFINGTON POST!

(abc news blog via NRO):

Since the Delaware senator left Obama's side and ventured out on his own on Labor Day, he has hardly garnered any national media interest at all.

His plane, a blue chartered 737, now crosses the country with about three-quarters of its seats empty, rows and rows with nary a warm body to be found.

Sen Biden has got to be hitting the bottle pretty heavily these days, and that's before the bill to neutralize his carbon footprint comes in.

I sure wish Karl Rove would stop giving good advice to Obama's campaign.

I had a union member in my chair the other day. I really nice guy. I have known him for over 20 years. And he is voting for Obama. When he said that, as I was doing a Root Canal on him, my assistant ( who is as conservative as I am ) and I made eye contact, we both were thinking the same thing.

We worked on putting her hair up in a move to TONE DOWN her sexy image and make her seem taller.

re: #20 LesLein
But does anyone seriously think Obama is got the stones to escalate the war in Afghanistan? This is the guy who said he wanted to get rid of all our nukes, and severely curtail military development and spending.

Like everything else Obama says its empty rhetoric. He's pushing the Afghanistan theater now because we're not clearly winning there, and its a way to focus attention away from the war we ARE winning (that he was against all along).

More important, no matter WHAT the rhetoric, does anyone REALLY think that Obama would prosecute a war in Afghanistan (or anywhere else on the planet, for that matter), better than Naval academy grad/ fighter pilot John McCain would?

Bad voter applications found
Clerks see fraudulent, duplicate forms from group

Several municipal clerks across the state are reporting fraudulent and duplicate voter registration applications, most of them from a nationwide community activist group working to help low- and moderate-income families.

The majority of the problem applications are coming from the group ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which has a large voter registration program among its many social service programs. ACORN's Michigan branch, based in Detroit, has enrolled 200,000 voters statewide in recent months, mostly with the use of paid, part-time employees.

"There appears to be a sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent applications," said Kelly Chesney, spokeswoman for the Michigan Secretary of State's Office. "And it

In my old synagogue, the most dyed in the wool liberals were the people who lived in the whitest sections of the neighborhood. People from these areas told me that they wouldn't dare shop in broad daylight on the street I lived on for fear of the "rougher element."

It was a forceful education in the fact that people who adhere to "liberal" views live in a self-imposed bubble, and that their reality is in fact a fantasyland.

Welcome to my world -- I've been telling students for years that they need to proofread their papers, as it is possible (indeed, likely) that they will misspell one world into the correcto spelling of another...

/not an issue in blog posts, of course -- I do it all the time!

I'm hearing disconcerting rumors that McCain is planning to endorse the so-called Gang of 10 16 20 energy legislation. That would be a huge mistake. In terms of its effect on the conservative base, supporting the Gang of 20's energy bill would be like McCain pouring a big bucket of cold water on the fire he started with the Palin pick.

Beach erosion. Looks like they're going to have to move the village soon. If the old guy that told me the story was correct, the move won't be for the first time. Naturally that wasn't mentioned. I was told that the settlement used to be at the north end of the island. It's not more that 50 or so yards wide up there now.

It was moved south years and years ago because of ..... beach erosion.

It's On: McCain Camp Demands Answers on Obama's Illegal Interference with US Foreign Policy

Yo Obama, ya'll just got served.. It's on!

OT:

Obama's treacherous negotiations with the Iraqi government will have to be examined by the Mainstream Media, now that the McCain campaign has publicly questioned The One's shady antics in Baghdad:

At this point, it is not yet clear what official American negotiations Senator Obama tried to undermine with Iraqi leaders, but the possibility of such actions is unprecedented. It should be concerning to all that he reportedly urged that the democratically-elected Iraqi government listen to him rather than the US administration in power. If news reports are accurate, this is an egregious act of political interference by a presidential candidate seeking political advantage overseas. Senator Obama needs to reveal what he said to Iraq's Foreign Minister during their closed door meeting. The charge that he sought to delay the withdrawal of Americans from Iraq raises serious questions about Senator Obama's judgment and it demands an explanation.

Time
(Mason, Waters, Wright, Gilmour) 7:06

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

R.I.P. Richard (aka Rick) Wright, Pink Floyd keyboardist.

Hubby had rotator cuff surgery last month, which ended up just being the impingment type--open him up, make sure everything is open and clear, no real tendon or ligament work done. But that meant he couldn't throw the son around for toileting, baths, etc. So I had to take time off from work and do that plus get some help in to make sure I didn't collapse. He's doing great now; still doing therapy to get his muscles back up to speed.

We finally figured out some of my health issues and things are better than they were. I go in next week to see if the doctor agrees with me (heh), but I see good signs.

Work is crazy since I've been away. I'm getting back in to the office close to 30 hours a week now, and my to do list is starting to approach four feet. In 8 point type.

I'm thinking of another version:

"You sleep like this? Freak."

Remember how I keep telling you guys my in-laws are Dem/Lib whackos in Vermont? Well this morning I wake up to this gem in my email box from my FIL:

*I THINK I UNDERSTAND THIS ELECTION A LITTLE BETTER NOW*
I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....

If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're
"exotic, different." Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.

If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim. Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable. Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.

If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.

If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.

If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian. If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a true Christian.

If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society. If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's. If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one
DWI conviction, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

OK, much clearer now.

re: #218 WriterMom

OMG

NO LOW TOO LOW FOR THE ANTI-PALIN CROWD
LOOK AT THIS

I am going to be SICK.

Ick.
And in other news, it looks like CBS couldn't dig up any dirt on Palin, and is giving up.

re: #218 WriterMom

at least it's an equal opportunity scum-ball site..............

Did anyone see the woman on H&C tonight that was born after partial birth abortion? She made me cry.

Nothing could compare to the Bronco game.

I am right here beside you. Hell's fury pales in comparison with mine.

re: #212 Nevergiveup

That big one in China. Or do you actually want a name?

Would that be the "Three Gorges Dam"?

re: #227 Nevergiveup

I don't think there's much of a danger of that in this case. How can Obama possibly defend not wanting to bring the troops home, especially now that the job is on it's way to being completed?

He can eat waffles (and make doublespeak excuses) if he wants, but I don't think most of the American public will buy it. Game over.

Another try for a 'hero" play by Romo goes BOOOMMM. When will he ever learn just to eat it and live to play another series

Caught the end of it. Combs: "Do you really think Obama is for infanticide?"
Her: "What would you call it Allen?"

Spidly beat ya to it, and gets an adult beverage of his/her choice, on me.

absinthe and buttermilk

re: #231 Cartman

Looks like they missed ya so much at work, they decided to surprise you on your return by piling all of their stuff on you! That's when ya know you're valuable. ;)

Is that what it is? I thought they were clearly demonstrating their inability to think outside the box and, you know, do some of it themselves. Silly me.

Romo is from the next town from me. He played in the local leagues here. He is a nice kid from a good family.

re: #246 spidly

absinthe and buttermilk

Wow. I think I have some. I mean, really, no kidding. I just got a bottle from a start up distiller in Alameda. Come on over. Absinthe makes the farts grow honda.

OT:
I am pretty sure I heard Sarah say it and am damn sure I heard W say it and even more sure it drives the dem/msm/l-cubed consortium ape-shit, so, from now on - I pledge to refer to it as "Nuke-you-lar!"

re: #153 Yankee Division Son

Ace has a very interesting post up, I commented on the subject yesterday..

It's On: McCain Camp Demands Answers on Obama's Illegal Interference with US Foreign Policy

Yo Obama, ya'll just got served.. It's on!

If this is true, it is the clearest violation of the Logan Act since the Logan Act was passed. Not to mention how bad it makes you look when you are trying to extend troops in Iraq in private while saying the exact opposite in public. but then again Obama is a politician, despite what he claims.

He comes home and has dinner with his ma. He brings Jessica with him. The neighbors love her - they say she is sweet and down to earth. Helps with the laundry and the meals.

Jessica Cooks? Call 911!

I "HOPE" the Obama/Iraq story gets play.

It would be a nice "CHANGE" of pace if they actually covered it.

heard it too, I thought that might be lefty baiting.

I knew ACORN supported Obama but I did not know he was once (or still is) an attorney representing them:

Obama was part of a team of attorneys who represented the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) in a lawsuit against the state of Illinois in 1995 for failing to implement a federal law designed to make it easier for the poor and others to register as voters.

..... voter fraud will be in every state. They are desperate and will stop at nothing.

It's telling that BO and Plugs are now energized and have left off the Palin hits. And what has energized them?

The failure of Lehman Bros, potential failure in other institutions, and a 500 point drop in the stock market.

They're jazzed because they can try and tie it into Bush/McCain, even though millions of people could be financially harmed by it.

How was McCain energized, just two short weeks ago? By choosing a running mate who connects to every day Americans, and who vows to reform Washington and to also focus on energy independence. All Americans would be helped by the achievement of these goals.

Shows a sure gap in the "Who Loves America?" question.
